pints you seem a right cranky hoor! :D
Ye nordies get upset over the smallest things
It's not the nordies getting worked up over the name of some day.

No you lot get worked up about when the southern state is called Ireland .
Hardly worked up, just point out how stupid it is and only a dip shit would refer to part of the country as "Ireland"

Its the countries name FFS, look Bunreacht na hEireann and you will see its Ireland or Eire, the Republic of Ireland is a soccer team not a country and the Irish Free State does not exist anymore. Stick to the facts.
Irleand has 32 counties, not the 26 you're talking about.  It doesnt even make sense. I don't care what sell outs and dip shits think. 

Btw, you'd get spat on in Mayo for referring to the 26th December as boxing day?  That's funny. Where were all you true Irish boys when there were real causes to fight for?

Makes perfect sense, Ireland has two correct definitions, Ireland is a country, Ireland is also an Island. FACT. I really don't care what someone with 24-7_365 male version of PMS thinks either.

Yawn, make love not war, shag more & out vote them, don't out shoot/bomb them.
Time to take a more chill-pill approach to life.

Was always the wren's day in my house growing up.

I've come around to calling it the King George day at Kempton in recent years though!  ;)

Looks like Donnelly's Hollow has got this one right... pagans  :o

St. Stephen's Day is a national holiday in Ireland, but, the celebrations have little connection to the Saint.
In Ireland, St. Stephen's Day is the day for "Hunting the Wren" or "Going on the Wren." Originally, groups of small boys would hunt for a wren, and then chase the bird until they either have caught it or it has died from exhaustion. The dead bird was tied to the top of a pole or holly bush, which was decorated with ribbons or colored paper.
Early in the morning the wren was carried from house to house by the boys, who wore straw masks or blackened their faces with burnt cork, and dressed in old clothes.

That'd go well with your current religious views fox.  ;)
Tbc....

Typical cowards response but I suppose it'd be easier to brag about spitting at someone for using the term "boxing day"  ::)

I always considered those who resort to or support violence as the coward.

Ireland the island has 32 historic counties. You lot are more than welcome to join us in Ireland the state when you are ready.
Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

I met one once, I was shocked  :o  Then again they were a Celtic jersey wearing, Premiership fanatic, anti-GAA, anti-Irish lanuage individual from a certain East Coast Leinster county.
